Pilots
Shaping the CitiVerse in Real Cities
x-CITE brings the CitiVerse to life through three real-world pilot sites: Tampere (FI), Rotterdam (NL), and Flanders (BE). Each pilot explores how Extended Reality (XR), AI, and citizen-centric design can make urban planning more inclusive, transparent, and effective.
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Citizen Engagement in Urban Planning
The Rotterdam pilot will develop an interactive 3D planning tool within CitiVerse, allowing citizens to visualize urban projects, provide feedback, and engage in real-time discussions with policymakers. This ensures transparent and inclusive decision-making for a more citizen-driven city.
Flanders, Belgium
Understanding Environmental Impact through XR
The Vlaanderen pilot will use CitiVerse to translate complex environmental reports into easy-to-understand 3D visualizations. This allows citizens to explore the real impact of planning decisions on their surroundings, fostering greater transparency and community participation in sustainable urban development.
Tampere, Finland
Bringing History to Life with Augmented Reality
The Tampere pilot will create an immersive AR experience that allows residents and visitors to explore the city’s rich history through digital storytelling. By integrating historical data with Extended Reality (XR), this initiative enhances cultural engagement and makes heritage more accessible to all.
